A clever trick to making a small bathroom look bigger is to use the same tiles on the walls and the floor. Not only does the natural stone in this family bathroom add a spa-style touch, but the continuous run of tiles creates a spacious feel, along with the wall-hung fixtures that save on floor area. If natural stone feels too neutral, you can easily pep it up with strong colour pops with your towels, storage and accessories – an on-budget way to add personality to your bathroom.

When it comes to refurbishment, set your priorities first, and plan the budget accordingly. Don’t let your renovation schedule become a hassle you simply want to avoid, but rather turn it into an entertaining process that excites you.
